42' Ponderosa Located in the Historic Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard

Nice location and lovely boat.

This was a very unique getaway and super comfortable for two people! Four adults might be a tad tight if stuck inside due to weather, but still worth the stay! We were there when the outside temps didn't get above 50F/10C, so sitting outside wasn't ideal....and slippers on the wood floors were a necessity at those temps. Regardless, we've already recommended it to a few friends and family...and look forward to going back during a warmer part of the year! Oh, and the aft bed was super comfortable! We didn't use the forward cabin, but it looked very cozy! Bottom line: book it!

Fun location for a harbor native to bring her current family “home” for the holiday.

Everything was great!

Danielle is a wonderful host. Responsive. Welcoming. Helpful. We have stayed at this location multiple times and keep returning because it is such a gem.

This was our second booking on Suite Dreams, had everything we needed, absolutely love the charm and experience of staying on a boat! Easy check in/check out process. Everything we wanted/needed within walking distance. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you for sharing your amazing boat

Great time and very relaxing space to come back to in the evenings. Loved watching the seals and birds. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend ‼

Great experience, great location. Recommended.

What a fantastic experience we had in Gig Harbor! Thank you for the last minute opportunity. Everything was great - aside from all the rain! The only thing was that there were some leaks and some water dripped onto the forward cabin bedspread in the middle of the night and made some brown stains. But otherwise, we loved it and would love to return. We even met Ron and had coffee with him on Sunday morning. He is an extraordinary man and we so appreciated all of his kindness!

We have stayed at this property for 2 years in a row 2 summers and we are absolutely in love with the whole area. In fact, we're planning on coming back next year. If they'll approve our visit again, everything about the boat is? Perfect. That accommodations are a wonderful, few steps to deal with. But that's what boat life is about. The people that are in the Marina are fantastic. very friendly and Gig Harbor area is absolutely a dream. So we will be back and I rate it 5 star all the way.

Excellent amenities provided. Great check-in and check-out. The WiFi was consistent. Would have liked a location that we could see water activity (boats, kayaks, etc). The area is very quiet and peaceful. Gorgeous view of Mt Ranier. Beds were comfortable, although front bedroom bed was a little difficult to get out of (last step at odd angle). Enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

We had a very enjoyable stay on the boat. Gig Harbor is a great town and the boat is in a good location. Beds were comfortable and the living room and back deck were great places to relax. The refrigerator was underpowered and we needed to use the freezer for refrigerated items, and the toilet capacity was limited. Minor inconveniences that did not take away from our trip enjoyment.

The yacht was exceptionally well maintained and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location was walking distance to shops, restaurants, and next to the park, which was perfect for my little pooch.Wonderful view of Mt. Rainier while enjoying a glass of wine from the aft deck!

We stayed on this beautiful boat 4 nights while visiting Gig Harbor in July. The boat is located central to everything around town and in easy walking to shops and restaurants. With two bedrooms and two full baths, as well as multiple seating areas, the boat has plenty of space to accommodate small groups. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the aft sitting area and watching the harbor seal fishing and then resting for the night on the dock next to us. Sure, you could get a nearby hotel, but we felt like we had a much more authentic taste of Gig Harbor while staying aboard this lovely yacht instead. The boat was kept in good condition and is very clean. Highly recommend the Suite Dreams!

Great as always! Clean, comfy, and relaxing.

Beautiful boat. State rooms and heads were extremely spacious for a boat! Lots of space for visiting - we had three generations (7 people) visiting and everyone was comfortable. Beach towels were available. Note there was no welcome bag as noted in the instructions, so we didn't have clear check-out instructions. We also needed to go up to Marina office to vet a parking pass, was told it would be on the boat. Marina people are super friendly, just noting for future guests.

We had a great Enjoyed relaxing on the back deck with its view of Mt. Rainier. Perfect location to some cute shops and restaurants.

The boat is beautiful and perfect situated within fig harbor. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely time! It did rain and wasn’t great weather but that has nothing to do with the stay. This would be an awesome spot to kayak from. Also great location to restaurants and downtown shopping. Bed was comfortable but maybe a little firm. Just keep in mind this a boat. There are several steps as well. Overall a fun unique way to spend the weekend!

People were great, boat was great. Check in was not we couldn't find some things like light switches... it's a boat not easy... I think because the normal person was gone. Don't go when it's cold as the heaters worked but not when it's in the 30's. You're staying a marina so it can be loud and bright lights all night. Great experience and location other than that.

Everything as listed, and was very comfortable once the boat got warmed up…it would have been nice on such cold weather for the space to be heated up in advance.

My sister stayed here with our dogs over Christmas Eve and Christmas and we had an incredible time! It was much needed peace and quiet in between spending time with our family in Gig Harbor. The boat was beautiful and so clean! The beds were heavenly and the boat stayed warm and cozy! Loved the Christmas lights on the surrounding buildings, park and boats! Would definitely return in the future, but maybe without the dogs, as they were a little less sure of boat life.

It was a great stay, the bathrooms were damp and that was a little uncomfortable but the overall stay was amazing and would def stay again and recommend to friends

We loved our stay on Suite Dreams and in Gig Harbor. It is a fantastic location and the accomodations were better terrific. The photos on the website don't do Suite Dreams justice, just lovely!

For my 60th birthday I wanted to do something different yet not travel too far and this was perfect! The yacht was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The beds were very comfortable and staying on the water was a great experience. Great location and walking distance to restaurants, bars and pubs. The Trolly @ the Boatyard and the Gig Harbor Brewery taproom are on the same property and shouldn't be missed. I cannot say enough positive things about what a perfect property this is and what a great experience we had. Thank you Cheryl for such great hospitality!

My friends and I stayed on the boat for a long weekend and it was such a great time! We'd never done this before so it was great to have a unique experience. The location was great as it was right downtown so we could walk everywhere. It was also nice to have the marine shower facilities as showering in the boat was limited.

We stayed 5 nights and everything was fantastic! The bed was so comfortable, everything was clean and comfortable. Our host checked on us to see if we needed anything. She also went above and beyond for us.

Lovely stay abord yacht. Comfortable clean and quiet. Pretty water views. Easy walks to stores, restaurants .. would stay here again. Thank you. Louise

We enjoyed our stay on the boat for husband's birthday. We especially enjoyed sitting on the aft deck while taking in the wildlife, all sorts of marine craft, and view of Mt Rainier. Convenient location to shops and restaurants in Gig Harbor. We were relieved to see actual steps up to the boat rather than the ladder shown in the picture, but it still requires a certain level of physical ability to access the boat and the various levels within the boat. Nice shower facilities are available onshore if you prefer. Thanks to Cheryl and crew for quickly addressing an issue that came up. We can't wait to return!

This was so much fun! Glamping on the water, a super fun adventure. The boat was cozy yet spacious. Our favorite was sitting on the sun porch watching the water wildlife and other boats come and go. An unexpected sight was the authentic Italian gondola!! The bed was very comfortable. We slept so well each night. Didn’t mind a Navy shower. Would most definitely would stay again!

This was our first time staying on a boat and it was fun! So close to the amenities of town. Peaceful evenings hanging on the boat.

Perfect from the moment we arrived! First time staying on the water and yacht! Don’t know if I’ll ever use a hotel again! Suite Dreams had everything we needed or could want. Bedroom was fantastic - great linens etc. location was walkable to all the shops, restaurants and concert in the park. Cheryl (host) was awesome. Answered all of questions . Highly recommend it

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gig Harbor on the boat. Definitely a memorable vacation. The kids especially loved it. Beautiful views and lots of seals and otters. Plenty of dining options nearby. The boat was amazing. Highly recommend staying here.

we loved staying on the boat, it was surprisingly spacious. there were four areas to lounge, the dock, the back deck, the top deck and the living room area, which gave plenty of room for my husband, I and our 2 sixteen year-old daughters to enjoy our time. also, very beautiful area and fun to be in the marina.

The boat was everything we imagined and hoped for! An incredible location -- so beautiful! -- which is ideally located, and everything inside the boat is perfectly kept and charming. We loved it and didn't want to leave. Thank you, Cheryl, for setting us up for such a great stay!
